“I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around- nobody big, I mean – except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be. I know it’s crazy…” J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

• Paint a picture? 
• Write a book?
• Start up your own business?
• Take the chance on a new relationship?
• Be a better parent?
• What else?

What’s stopping you?

In answering this, consider the following:

• Is it lack of information, skills or resources? – If so, how can you get what you need? And what would be your first step?
• Are you waiting for the right time? - If so, how will you know when the time is right?
• Is there risk involved? – If so, assess that risk and ask yourself whether you are prepared to take it. Can you afford not to take it?
